How do they get their tractors going fast enough to ship out of Wyoming overnight?

I've got at least 4 different sized tractors to get turbos from, maybe even swap the whole diesel in there.

You know there's a Wyoming in Michigan right?

i felt even more like a moron then you i am sure. as you can see i even thought that might be the issue in this case. hahahahahaha...
Maybe you should call up Steve, get him to come over and wiggle some wires!? - it worked last time

There's more going on here than meets the eye;
Mark used to have a decal in his rad support (or was it the battery cover?) that read:
LSJ > LNF



There's definate pro's and con's to each;
IMHO the LSJ's are more apt to modification, but with apt detemination and money, the LNF's can fill the gap...
Also, not many people realize that GM sandbagged the LSJ's horsepower numbers, the two models had only aprox 30whp difference between them (iirc LSJ's often dynoed around 215whp, and LNF's around 243whp)

My favorites between models:
  • '07+ radios; epsecially the '09-'10 USB deck
  • '07+ Steering wheels
  • '08+ wheels
  • '05-2006.5 "Arrival Blue" paint
  • LNF-F35 3.82fdr > LSJ-F35 4.05fdr (better highway cruising rpm's)
  • LSJ's complete lack of 'granny' controls related to traction control ect
  • LNF's seats (heated seat option be dammed )
  • LNF' grilles
  • RPD (aka: "Nintendo gauge")

I liked the LSJ's alot, but it was the SS/TC that brought me to the market (that and a naturally aspirated four-banger that was hot rodded just enough to not be rock solid reliable in the dead of winter)...

i do believe i have a working wideband now jonathan. that might be a page or 2 back now. hahaha

as for the old arguement. i like lnf's its a great package for a car. some details about the car are missed that i didnt like are very minor. like the molding in the roof was painted body color on the lsj not lnf. no heated seats, and the lack of the small ss badge on the dash trim. over all gm did bring a better packaged car to the table when they brought out the lnf. however i am old school. i dont like quiet cars. the lsj sounds like it has *****, so it must have *****. where you can hear a cricket quiff in a lnf its so quiet. right there is the ultimate fail of the lnf.

i would take that bet if i was on meth and a 2.5.

no worries man I really do appreciate the help. man it was a good day for cleaning my parts pile.

on a side note. you guys gotta check out the hotel we are staying at in Edmonton. we are staying at the hotel macdonald, Fairmont. it looks like a pretty swanky place boys. best part is for 3 nights it will cost us 230. which truth to be told is less then half then 1 night at regular price. waterslides here I come.

its a real crappy job i hope you understand why i didnt want to do it. that factory glue pad is really aggressive. i actually suggest you to get new ones. they are not cheap, approx 50 each. if not i would use a over sized washer on the back side of the bolts.

painted roof trim, was a model year change-over, which was why the prices dropped;
the dash 'SS' badge was dropped late in the '09 model year - as an example, Nathan's white car had it, mine didn't.
You and your heated seats
